i've got like 15 hours in it so far
I think itemization and the non-storline npc atmosphere are going to be my biggest complaints (all fixable with patches and dlc). It's really a shame about the npc's because the atmosphere of the physical world is just so great, it brings it down a notch or two. This is why although I think i'll enjoy this game more because I like sci fi so much, the witchers world (and gta5) felt a little more immersive overall. I will say, for a cdpr games, the combat is really enjoyable.

This guy makes some valid points, but when you don't have a simple grasp of the English language, it makes a lot of your points moot. Knowing when to use there/their/they're, and your or you're, or than instead of then is simple fucking first grade grammatical shit.

Man, that story took a dark turn in act 2.
I did finally have a pretty obnoxious bug, where I couldn't get to Judy's basement because an NPC was crouched in the doorframe scared. Had to reload the game to get it to reset. Leaving the area didn't cut it. Had a few T pose runners today too. Can't remember if there were any other bugs, but nothing too bad.
I've also tried doing the stealth thing, but I'm way too impatient. Like the hotel in act 1, I started out doing stealth and about halfway through gave up because it was taking fucking forever. Just blasted my way through at the end.
There's been a few other occasions where I could've used stealth, but the hacking system confuses me still (13 hours in), and I never know what I should be doing. Or how things will interact if I do them (like blinding a guy, does it alert others?). Similar is the "bounty" system that was explained at the very start. Seems like sometimes I can kill those dudes and it's fine, and other times the NCPD is up my ass so I just reload. I also swear they mentioned something about cops who will give you jobs, but I haven't seemed to crack the code on how you do them.
Didn't expect a fucking snuff porn plotline.

NCPD will just put out the call driving around the city, just like a fixer: Mission at this address. They will also show up as a flashing badge. If you wound/kill civilians while killing crooks, the NCPD will come for you all the same if you were the bad guys that they couldn't be bothered with a few moments ago. Once I had to go through one with a baton because the Civilian wouldn't crouch and kept getting shot. Instant drones and sirens, and no way out. Baseball Bat "Assault in Progress" icons, though, don't seem to have any civilians, IIRC.
I am still in Watson, trying to down the Super CyberPsycho Anna Mox, who kills me in 2 hits. I think I am just too low level for the job and Roberta is going to have to find another space cowboy or wait until I level more.
Edit: I don't find it surprising at all, the spoiler. Have you ever been anywhere in Night City?

lol funniest quest so far.
Came across some random dude in his underwear screaming while holding his crotch. He begs you to take him to a ripper doc because he has a faulty penis impant. He shows up in the phone as Flaming Crotch Man.

I haven't minded it. And it makes sense, as everyone you kill should be lootable and the little bases/hide outs they are in should have stuff too. I mainly disassemble it all, as I get enough money from missions really. It would be odder imo if you killed a group of thugs and cant take their weapons.
I think my favorite thing so far is(not sure if spoiler, so will in case):
Quickhacking enemies by using their own camera systems. You hack a camera, then brute force to lower your cost for entire network, then just burn one by one. And because I am usually way far away out of sight, never in danger

It's part of the tutorial I don't know how that could be a spoiler but some people. Yeah, its not Destiny, part for me at least of making the world feel real is that there is lots of stuff that drops. Elder Scrolls/Morrowind/Skyrim did this well, in that there were tons of items in the world you couldn't give a damn about but were part of world regardless. There is a perk that auto-shards junk, if only you could set that by rarity but there may some things that don't fit that just yet. Maybe for year 2.
What you describe feels very Ghost in the Shell to me. I still don't have the hacking stuff down at all. I am just doing it to learn and will hopefully figure it out so by the end of this run or the next I can really go all in on it.

bit the bullet and got it as well. Too many good posts on here about it and having a PC that can run it with no issues was a no brainier to get it for PC after hearing the issues with consoles, plus the fact that there is a huge FPS aspect to the game, and to me.. FPS is PC only.
Don't have many issues with the game at all so far, it's fun and entertaining and if you let yourself get drawn in, it makes it all the better.
Being OCD as well, this game will take me forever. I search every nook and cranny for items. Hell on the first mission there is a room on the balcony that i spent about 30 min trying to get into (never found a way, and it is still bugging me).
Progression tree is bothering me a bit... I kinda want it all. I am playing stealthy, but i feel that this game needs to be played guns blazing to make it more fun, and i want to do that... but the level up trees are all over the place and I can't seem to focus in on where i want to put my points. I want to hack, i want to shoot, i want to sneak, i want to use a sword (eventually) but if seems that you can spread yourself too thin if you decide to play a jack of all trades.
That's it for now, if you are debating getting the game, stop watching twitch and play the game yourself, form your own opinion.

Not that I have seen. I mean there is street fighting, racing, and shooting range stuff. Hacking is probably the closest to a real minigame probably.

I think I would have liked them to focus more on weapon mods than looter shooter. Sure stuff drops all the time because you need to make money for your cyberdong upgrades but otherwise it would be generic compared to your highly modified suped up weapons.

I don't know, I think open world games lately have been going in the wrong direction for that very reason. A lot of those "dynamic" events are so on the rails that they choke the life out of the world. Older GTA games had far more simplistic narratives for each NPC but the player could interact with them in far more ways.
Really the problem with open world games is the same as with 4x games---AI is not keeping pace with other immersive features. How clumsy and stupid modern AI is becomes really, really pronounced in these types of games (Because either the NPC is extremely simple or the studio needs to place in so many controls so their complex script can run correctly)
